ROFLCOPTER nice shoes. Me want infinity boots now...

You have to remember though, that the whip is some kind of demonic-type weapon, not simply your standard bit of leather. It probably has some kind of abyssal magic in it which makes it incredibly powerful. Whatever. It's a fantasy weapon for the most part. I don't know what Jagex did to the G maul, as I was not a member back then. I do know it had something to do with the special, which (I think) was changed to a weaker one. ------------------------- Onto dragon weapons. The dagger has the worst stats of all dragon weapons currently. Its advantage is its special, wich when coupled with super or + poison, makes for a very powerful and useful weapon. A lot of people use it as a weapon to open a fight, speccing their opponent 4 times then switching to a different weapon. The Longsword is your standard, all-round combat device. It has decent power, good stats and special. It's a weapon with balanced uses, good against most enemies. The Scimitar is a weapon that doesn't quite have the longsword's balance. Its special is more PvP oriented (blocking of protect prayers), and while the increased accuracy of the spec is good against higher level monsters, the bar drain makes it more of a one-shot special. It hits harder than the longsword, though, and is faster. The battleaxe is interesting. It's often carried as a pseudo-strength potion fo its spec, which increases the strength of the user for a certain amount of time. While a very useful combat weapon, the way I see it most used is as a stat booster weapon. After using the spec, the user normally switches to a different weapon. Spear. One of the least used weapon class. Most spears I have seen are in Castle Wars, where the special is quite useful against EFCs. On a rare occasion I see people using them as stunning weapons in the tunnels, he trick being to immobilise your enemy in the loose wall area...and bring the ceiling down on his head. Few uses otherwise, and as I've said before, is generally outclassed by the... Halberd. The warrior's safespot-tool. The dragon halberd's spec is VERY useful against large NPC's (which is what one would normally use a halberd for anyway). Strength, long range and more useful special make it outclass the spear in almost every way. That's pretty much all I know about dragon weapons. Most of the information is first-hand, some of it comes from watching people use the weapons. --------------------------- Let's look at barrows items now. Assuming the full set effect is in place, unless stated. Firstly, Verac. Apparently good in staking circles since the set can ignore armor defence bonuses, and apparently hit through prayer. It's also the only melee armor that has no Mage defence penalty (+0 to mage defence for all pieces). The weapon also provides the largest single prayer bonus (+6). Next, Dharok. The Mother of all weapons, this set makes hitting damage in the high 70s possible. Risk takers use this armor a lot, especially good for fast training. The axe isn't much good without the set effect, though. Guthan. IMO the most useful special, this set is touted as "All the food you need in 4 spaces". If only. The set effect is random, and can activate when it's not needed, such as when you hit a 0. The weapon itself is like all spears, controlled or defensive, which again limits its training uses. Most people opt to wear the armor only, while using a different weapon to attack with. The spear is normally only used to heal when on low health. Torag. A pair of warhammers almost never used. The set effect doesn't do much in the way of PvNPC combat, and the set is mostly used only for its armor, which when coupled with a good shield, apparently gives defence in the mid 300s. Moving away from melee, Karil. The set effect has little use, apart from the nasty fellows who use it to trap people training at the wilderness agility arena (set effect drains agility). Armor is not widely used since it is harder to obtain than black D hide and requires repair, while only giving a few defence points bonus. Crossbow is a good weapon because it's stats don't degrade like th crystal bow's would. To train effectively with it, however, requires a premium in bolt racks. Often used for more specialised combat, such as Fight Caves. ---------------------- My God, that post is long. Read thouroughly or I WILL kill you...

A very naughty person stole "The Unrealist". Where is he...?

Might this result in more usage of the lumbridge furnace?

Most likely because the title gives no hint that it has nothing to do with RS. This should go in OT, there's even an advertising sticky there.

Try elaborating on your ideas further. "More fun ways to train theiving" means nothing. How about a few specific ideas? Myself, I consider getting a bunch of mates to go and stage a bank robbery, as a fun way to train theiving, but whatever. You may disagree.

Sara. They win more CW.

I should think this belongs in off topic, since it's not about RS.

I do wish you would stop advertising your game in every bloody thread you post in.

This is weirder than that guy who insured his cigars against fire...

I was looking through the treasure trail guide and I found a small mistake. In the level 3 clue rewards section, the rune (t) armor is pictured twice.

*smashes very very hot pie in wyvrens face* I wish this would end...

I place a grenade behind a window. The resulting explosion causes the window to shatter and you are torn to pieces by broken glass based shrapnel.

Are you sure you don't have them in your bank?

Another tip: you can't put 4 shakes of a spice in a single stew, so 1 number will be repeated :wink:

Mine was: 1 red, 3 orange, 2 yellow, 3 brown. Post yours here.

The rune gloves look like they're showing the middle finger. I started this quest, but i'm not going to be able to finish it anytime soon...waaahh....me want gloves....

Look in the off topic forum, this has been posted before.

Why not bring lumbridge tele runes or ring of dueling? from there, run to the canoe tree and take a canoe to edgeville.

I still do, occasionally. Go for assault rifles. The faster ones rock. I'm still trying for enough cash to get an MG. Knives, while having the very useful ability to knock down an opponent, can't block bullets. If you don't need to knock down people, get the twin swords. Fast and lethal.

Not quite. Prozac is an anti-depressant. You'd need a sedative to stop someone going out and shooting heads off people. My bad :oops:

Try "hypocrite". Also try "spelling". It was valid since it was never actually specified that it returned 60% of the gold piece value. It may be obvious to a Runescape player, but clearly, it was an issue of semantics and thus you have no strong base from which to criticise. Firstly, hitpoints are not a solid representation of your toughness, rather a sort of "battle luck". Hitpoints represent how well you can turn your body to make a potentially lethal blow into a light graze. They represent how well you parry to avoid getting a sword in your gut and instead get it in your arm, or any number of other abstract concepts of combat that cannot be accurately represented in a game. Not entirely true. It depends on the situation - engagement range, status of the combatants, amount of armour, environmental conditions, what-have-you. Then there's also our good friend "suspension of disbelief". The whip is a part of some abyssal monster, that probably still has some of its former owner's consciousness still driving it to try and kill things. It's an explanation that works because it was never specified to be a whip as we would know it in real life. Hell, it doesn't even LOOK like a real whip. I point you to the axes used by Danish Housecarls. Suspension of disbelief. Oh, and you don't drink the vial. That would involve melting it down and swallowing hot slag. He did say "drinking from a vial". How about: I can fail an agility jump in the underground pass and still be able to run after falling from a very high area onto a very hard floor.

Would you like to donate that amount to me? It's not "chump change" to everybody, remember.
